Direct And Predictable Impact'The White Houses deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller, known for shaping the Trump administrations stringent immigration policies, reportedly owns a significant amount of stock in ICE contractor Palantir Technologies Inc.
What Happened: Millers financial disclosures reportedly indicate that he holds up to $250,000 worth of shares in Palantir, a company that plays a crucial role in the operations of U.S. immigration officials. The investment is held in a brokerage account belonging to one of Millers children, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest.

The investigation also found 11 other officials with Palantir stock holdings, though none as substantial as Miller's, the report said. Don Fox, a former acting head and former general counsel of the Office of Government Ethics, told the watchdog, "He could easily become involved in policy matters that have a direct and predictable impact on Palantir.
